Clasp vs. MyCase

Choosing a practice management system is a big switch, and you should pick the one that fits your firm. Here’s an honest, side-by-side look at Clasp and MyCase — what’s built in, what costs extra, and where each one shines.

A product that actually feels modern.

Clasp is fast, clean, and keyboard-first — built this decade for the way firms work now. No clutter, no relearning a dated interface, no fighting the tool to get through your day.

AI built in, not billed on top.

Clasp’s AI is included and grounded in your real case context. With MyCase, AI (MyCase IQ) is a premium upgrade that can cost around $100/user/mo on top of your plan.

Microsoft-native and founder-led.

Edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint right inside the matter, with Outlook sync and OneDrive migration built in. And when you switch, you get a direct line to the team — built from conversations with 49+ firms.

Clasp vs. MyCase: capability comparison

Clasp vs. MyCase: capability comparison

If you’re weighing MyCase, start here. MyCase is a capable, well-rounded all-in-one platform, and for plenty of firms it’s a solid choice. The real question is what you want from the AI era of legal software. MyCase added AI on top of an existing platform and prices it as a premium upgrade. Clasp was built AI-native from the ground up — the case is a living context layer, AI is included, and Microsoft 365 works natively inside every matter. If you want modern software with AI in the box, that’s the firm Clasp is built for.

Look and feel

Modern, fast, built this decade.

Linear-quality design — full-page command search, keyboard-first create shortcuts (c + two keys for anything), designed empty states, and a clean, low-clutter interface your team adopts in a day.

A more dated experience.

Capable, but a more traditional layout; MyCase’s recent redesign drew user complaints about harder navigation and a clunkier feel.

AI in your workflow

Built in and included.

Clasp AI is grounded in your firm’s real case context — the documents, communications, and matter history already in the system. No separate AI subscription.

Premium add-on.

MyCase IQ (8am IQ) starts around $100/user/mo and requires a Pro plan or higher — AI sits on top of your base subscription.

Microsoft 365

Native, inside the case.

Edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint inline within the matter, sync Outlook, and migrate OneDrive into Clasp Drive. “Work in Microsoft. Stay in Clasp.”

Outlook add-in only.

Microsoft works through an Outlook add-in (email linking, calendar sync) available on Pro and Advanced tiers — not native, in-matter editing of your Office files.

Messaging & client communication

Modern and case-linked.

Fast secure firm messaging, channels auto-organized per case, client texting, and scheduled messages — all tied to the matter.

A common pain point.

MyCase’s messaging draws recurring user complaints about glitches, delays, and notifications that are harder to find after the redesign.

Trust accounting automation

Auto-replenishment built in.

Trust auto top-up when a matter’s balance drops below your threshold, with IOLTA/ABA-compliant flows — set it once and stop chasing balances.

More manual.

MyCase includes trust accounting, but topping up and monitoring trust balances is a more hands-on process.

The case as the center

Everything lives on the matter.

Documents, messages, deadlines, billing, and AI context all hang off the case as one living workspace — and AI has real data to work from out of the box.

Solid case management.

Organized and reliable, with a more conventional records-and-modules structure.

Value for an AI-enabled firm

One price, AI included.

Business is $84/user/mo with AI, intake, billing, payments, communications, e-sign, and unlimited storage in the box.

AI changes the math.

Reaching MyCase’s AI tier (Pro + MyCase IQ) lands near ~$189/user/mo before accounting and other add-ons.

Company & support

Founder-led.

Built from conversations with 49+ firms, shipping fast, with direct access to the team during and after your switch.

Large incumbent.

MyCase is part of 8am/AffiniPay — established and stable, with a more traditional support structure.

MyCase pricing, packaging, and capabilities per MyCase’s published plans, MyCase IQ pricing, and product documentation as of June 2026. Comparison reflects standard plan inclusions; your configuration may vary.

One system, not a stack of add-ons.

What you’ll actually pay

What you’ll actually pay

MyCase’s starting price is genuinely low, and it bundles the basics well. But the AI-powered workflow most firms want now sits behind a higher tier and a premium AI add-on. With Clasp, AI is already in the price.

With Clasp, you don’t choose between a low price and real AI. Intake, payments, messaging, Microsoft 365, and AI are all in one plan — one bill, one system, one login for your whole firm.

Considering Clasp as a MyCase alternative?

Here’s what changes when your whole firm runs in one place instead of a stack of connected tools.

Everything on the case, from intake to payment

Clasp connects the full arc of a matter — lead intake, documents, communications, deadlines, billing, and trust — onto a single living workspace. No re-entering data between a CRM and a case manager.

AI that’s grounded in your firm’s context

Most legal AI is either enterprise-priced (Harvey, Legora) or generic (ChatGPT). Clasp sits in the middle: AI built into the workflow and grounded in your own matter data, so it actually removes work instead of just talking about it.

Financial control without the admin drag

Built-in billing, native payments tied to each matter, passive time capture, and compliant trust accounting with auto-replenishment. Get paid accurately with far less reconciliation work.
